Mook Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Our office building was built using metal frames, so the FM reception is farily duff. Streaming Radio 1 over t'Internet is OK, but it's constantly getting interrupted, so I'm looking for a small, standalone DAB/FM radio that I can use in the office. Any recommendations around the £50 mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigyb Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 If FM is duff, what makes you think DAB will be any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hasn't the mobile got radio via the headphones? Could you not use a PC with speakers or headphone? DAB is good, portable one's eat batteries, I've got a Pure and they are quality, but £50 is at the low point for any of the better one's.

CarMad Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 [ QUOTE ] If FM is duff, what makes you think DAB will be any better? [/ QUOTE ] I'd say the same. I tried one and I get great FM but DAB was poor. IMO DAB can be worse at getting a good signal and not breaking up. Just make sure you can take it back, thats what I ended up doing with the one I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 That's what I thought. Although FM is duff, at least with DAB it's either there or it's not, a bit like Freeview Will try a Pure one and make sure I can take it back.
